Jack Sacchi Poems

you take me to the park
lead me on.
i felt it in my heart;
but you are so wrong.
...

If the Earth were shrunken down & down & down
To the size of a dust particle
It'd be one that is caught on the lapel of some philanderer's jacket,
Forgotten to a darkened room in the corner of an apartment where a party is happening.
...

At night I think about it
Nightmarish things
The thought of you with anyone else but me
My phantom boy
...

Starting today:
An all new you.
No more backseat.
No more proposing and hoping it will come through.
...

The tiny robin sitting on the railroad tracks can't even see the train.
O forgiving dust particle.
O bleak supernova.
To the words 'Best Friend',
...

i spread your lips
my tongue grazes your love bump
i feel your passion. warm on my face at first
then it dries.
...
